Jennifer is highlighting how challenging it is to get data out of an EHR in order to do healthcare analytics. This is certainly an issue and a challenge. Although, as much of a challenge is the integrity of the data that’s entered in the EHR.

Healthcare IT marketers and PR junkies finally have a focused conference. Just for us! Join in April if you can. http://t.co/TdiiPTgYMv

I love Beth’s description of the Health IT Marketing and PR conference we announced. It’s been interesting to see people’s reaction to the conference. So many marketing and PR people are use to going to conferences, but they’re always going there to sell their products. It seems that they’ve rarely gone to a conference where they go to learn. It’s such a change in what the word “conference” usually means to them. By the way, the conference is coming together very nicely. It’s going to be a great event.

I love the concept of a hospital without walls. This is happening. A little slower than I’d like, but we’re getting there in a lot of areas. Of course, this will never replace hospitals, but it will be a great compliment to hospitals.
